The pop superstar is expected to visit the country this weekend after she filed adoption papers there, the Daily Mail reports.
A source said: "Mercy has been handed over to Madonna's people, who are already at the lodge, and is being cared for by a nanny.
"They are waiting for Madonna to arrive so mother and daughter can be united and then Madonna is expected to take Mercy with her when she leaves."
The child had been living at an orphanage near Blantyre in southern Malawi and was moved to Kumbali Lodge near Lilongwe.
Madonna adopted David Banda from Malawi in 2006.
